Arctic Expedition
In the darkness of the Arctic night, a helicopter landed on the north coast of Russia.
Boerge Ousland and Mike Horn were beginning one of the most amazing expeditions
in history. It was January 22nd, and they planned to walk 600 miles (965 kilometers)
to the North Pole—in winter.
There is no land at the North Pole, only water and ice that floats and moves. It's
always a dangerous place, but winter is the worst time of the year. The sun doesn't rise
for three months, and the temperature can be –40°F (–40°C). But Boerge grew up in
Norway—he loved skiing and climbing mountains, and Mike Horn was a champion
athlete from South Africa. They were ready for the challenge.
They set out on skis and pulled their equipment behind them. It wasn't light enough to
see, so they used headlamps. When they came to open water, they had to swim. They
put on waterproof suits over their clothes and got into the icy water five or six times a
day. When they weren't in the water, they were skiing.
Every day, they skied and swam north. And while they were sleeping, the ice carried
them south. But they kept on for ten hours every day, covering 15 miles (24
kilometers) each day.
On March 23rd, Boerge checked his GPS. The North Pole was 1000 yards (914
meters) away. “I've been there before,” Boerge told Mike. “You've never been. You
go first.” “No,” Mike said. “We'll do it together.” And together, the two explorers
walked to the Pole.

1. Boerge and Mike started their expedition from the ____________________ of Russia.
